Kevin Vallejos Eyes Future Title Shot Against Alexander Volkanovski
Kevin Vallejos is rooting for Alexander Volkanovski to retain his featherweight title at UFC 333, as he hopes to be the one to take the belt from him in 2027.
Featherweight contender Kevin Vallejos has expressed his clear intentions for the division, noting that he is pulling for Alexander Volkanovski to defend his title successfully at UFC 333 this weekend. Volkanovski is set to face the undefeated Movsar Evloev in the main event in Abu Dhabi. According to reports from MMA Fighting, Vallejos hopes the champion emerges victorious because he wants the opportunity to be the one to dethrone “The Great” in 2027. Vallejos, who is currently building his own momentum in the rankings, appears focused on securing a future path to gold, viewing Volkanovski as the ultimate target to validate his standing in the weight class. While he watches the championship bout with interest, Vallejos is currently occupied with his own upcoming assignment. The surging contender is scheduled to face former UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling in the co-main event of the weekend’s card. The outcome of that high-profile matchup will likely play a significant role in determining where Vallejos fits into the title picture moving forward.
